@ Purple, lavender, lilac, violet, amethyst...
“Oh hello, Pandiebelle!” cried BUZZ. “Didn’t we bump into each other on the steam train journey a while ago?”
Purple, lavender, lilac, violet, amethyst...
Purple is a particular color. Many love it; and many can't stand it. Throw me in the group that loves this perfect pigment.
It can be deep. it can be playful, rich, and childish. It is best known for being royal. The bravest and strongest don this tone. As do many fetching flowers. Shades of purple express the joy, happiness, and significance of Easter. Hope yours is full of beautiful moments!

Wow! Pink!
Pink is pleasant, pleasing, and appealing like a little girl stealing our hearts with a blush. Mixing white and red makes a shy yet, coy hue.

@ Blank Canvas?
“Oh hello, Pandiebelle!” cried moo moo. “Didn’t we bump into each other on the steam train journey a while ago?”
Blank Canvas?
Is there a quote waiting to be written here? In what medium? What color?
In a very dark brown pastel, I would copy this quote:
It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.
Rainer Maria Rilke

@ Reaching for Heaven
Pandiebelle and Camo shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Pandiebelle. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Camo. “This is my best side.”

When a group congregates and looks up to Heaven, they create a Heaven of their own where the shared hope and faith surrounds and protects them all. A perfect place to bloom and grow.

Episode 7/25

@ Lilacs!
Pandiebelle and Honey shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Pandiebelle. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Honey. “This is my best side.”
Lilacs!
How can mere words describe lilacs? They would need to be precious and pop, one after another, creating a delightful display like soft little flowers contrasted by deep green leaves. No, that isn't possible.
One photo cannot capture the lilac's appeal, unless it came to life in explosions of sweetness.
And, a movie will not pass on the scent of pale purple perfume sent through a Spring breeze.
Your eyes must gaze upon this glorious gorgeousness, and watch it bloom. Stand near by and breathe deeply to collect its bouquet into your own being. That is the only way I know to appreciate the essence of this stunning simple gift completely.

“Chocolate eggs, mucki!" said Pandiebelle. "Preferably one huge one, filled with lots of little ones!"
EAsTer

@ A Bench in The Woods
“What's your favourite Easter thing, Pandiebelle?” asked Mulle.
“Hot cross buns, with lots of butter, Mulle!" said Pandiebelle.
A Bench in The Woods
Tired on a trail or feeling like sitting down and taking it all in? A bench in the woods is your answer. Usually, they are located with a scenic view: an overlook or a pond. Sometimes, you'll find a bench in the woods at spots after the trail had just been a challenge. Maybe some critters will cross your path or sing from the branches above. Maybe you'll see something familiar in a whole new way. Resting on a bench in the woods is a really good idea.

Episode 10/25

@ An Individual
“Let’s pose with one of us at each side and I’ll set the self-timer to take a shot,” said Pandiebelle to Fino. “It’ll be a wonderful souvenir of our time here!”
An Individual
HAROLD: I don’t know. One of these maybe?
MAUDE: Why do you say that?
HAROLD: Because they are all alike.
MAUDE: Oooh, but they are not. Look. See – some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals – all kinds of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world’s sorrow comes from people who are this, and allow themselves to be treated as that…
Each person is different, never existed before and never to exist again. Just like this daisy – an individual… from the movie, Harold and Maude

Episode 11/25

@ Make Mine Macaron
Pandiebelle and Connie were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture!
Make Mine Macaron
Macarons are another one of those things made possible by the egg. Merengue cookies in a plethora of colors surround fillings just as numerous. The talent needed to make one well is praiseworthy. These aren't cheap cookies, made for savoring and gift giving. Nummy.

@ Snowdrops: Stylish Strength
“Time to move on and shake the next paw!” observed Pandiebelle. Choose a name ♡ Molly agreed, but said she was going to stay here awhile and admire the scene.
Snowdrops: Stylish Strength
You brave little lovelies daring to grow
With whispers of hope and the coming of Spring
And a dance quite befitting of creatures with wings.
Are you flowers or fairies peeping out of the snow?
Your courage is boundless as you awaken the Earth.
Strong, yet delicate Snowdrops, you are oh so inspiring,
While you frolic with snowflakes as they have one last fling.
Your final bow at the end tho, signals rebirth.

Faded Sky
Watch your thoughts fly away across the clear sky, offering your dreams a home to flourish.
Give Me Tulips!
Oh, give me tulips - by the pile.
In many colors - to make me smile.
Petals, leaves, and stalks, so long.
Are a graceful gift, worthy of song.

Episode 14/25

@ Daffodils
While Pandiebelle stood drinking in the amazing view, Olivia Anna searched in her backpack for her camera, eager to capture the scene!
Daffodils
Some of Spring's earliest bloomers are daffodils. So yellow and bright, they draw attention to themselves. That's why they belong to the genus, Narcissus (the hunter who fell in love with his own reflection in Greek myth.) Daffodils are as sturdy and strong as they are beautiful and bright. Their shape is unique among the flower family, but grow in bunches generating a greater impact of their individuality.

@ The Egg
Pandiebelle and Wuzzy shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Pandiebelle. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Wuzzy. “This is my best side.”
The Egg
“A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.”
? J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Simple and complete, an egg brings new life.
Nutritious and delicious, it can also feed us. Scrambled, fried, or baked in a cake, its versatility is astounding.

@ A-Tisket, A-Tasket
“Oh hello, Pandiebelle!” cried fiffy. “Didn’t we bump into each other on the ski slopes last winter?”
A-Tisket, A-Tasket
Why baskets for Easter?
Springtime is when all the planting is done in preparation for the harvest in Fall. Celebrations of old featured a blessing of the basket with hope for a bountiful yield.
Today, we use baskets of all colors and sizes to hold our Easter bounties: chocolate bunnies, brightly-dyed eggs, and jelly beans by the ton!

Decorating eggs is an Easter activity in many cultures. The bright colors bring joy to anyone who sees them. In the past, these fragile masterpieces were given as gifts when celebrating Springtime.

Episode 18/25

@ Foil-covered Chocolate Eggs
Pandiebelle and Owen Points were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture!
Foil-covered Chocolate Eggs
Why wrap this sweet treat in foil? I'd appreciate its succulence just the same if it fell freely into my hand unencumbered in shiny colors. I'll admit the time it takes to peel away its prison heightens my anticipation, but I don't eat chocolate to be stimulated in any way other then letting the creamy deliciousness melt on my tongue.

Episode 19/25

@ Easter Greetings

"Do you know what this place needs, Pandiebelle?"
"No, snuggle, what does it need?"
"Nothing, Pandiebelle. This scene is flawless!"
Graceful Tulips
Tulips are not glamorous, but they are subtly elegant. Long stalks rise to greet the sunshine and sway in Spring's breezes. The flowers come in a multitude of colors, each as beautiful as the next. Best of all, these beauties bring bees and, as we all know, bees make the world go round!

Episode 25/25

@ Glorious Reflection
At last the egg ceases to fill Pandiebelle's mind with visions. As the last one fades, the egg disappears. In it's place, Pandiebelle finds she now has a wonderful prize!
Flower Garden
A beautiful garden ready for guests to enjoy, fully blossomed and fragrant.
Glorious Reflection
Is there anything as bewildering and enchanting as a reflection? Painters and photographers add reflections to their pieces in order to create this discomfort, followed by understanding, in those appreciating the scene. They force a closer inspection by the curious. Reflections are delightful duplications of a finite slice of an infinite reality.
Pandiebelle has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can take part in "Exploring Easter"!
